Dreamcatchers trap bad dreams - but sometimes nightmares escape. Ellen Williams, a Native American with a gift for foretelling the future, is at a loss to explain her terrifying nightmares and the portentous feeling of dread that seems to hang over her like a shroud. When Travis Petersen - an old friend of her brother's - appears in her bookshop The Reading Nook, Ellen can't shake the idea there's a strange connection between her nightmares and Travis' arrival. Suffering from guilt of the car accident which took the lives of his wife and son, Travis is struggling to salvage his life, and believes he has nothing to offer a woman. But Ellen's nightmares come true when developers announce a fancy new build, which means pulling down The Reading Nook - and she needs Travis' help.
